For the chicest, most-likely-to-spend-their-Sunday-on-Facebook-Marketplace people in your life, gifting a candle isn’t a safe gesture; it’s a faux pas. Like carnations instead of roses, it’s a Christmas gift that says you didn’t really care all that much. Which, of course, isn’t exactly true. You care a lot. It’s just that they seemingly have everything…
Or do they? They might already have a cabinet full of fragrances, but a scented Tuckernuck tassel makes even a doorknob smell expensive. They jot down little to-dos every day, but those lists suddenly seem much more appealing torn from a winding, spiral-format notepad by Flores Paper. Cocktail shakers are a dime a dozen, but one that knows its Manhattans from its martinis, with etched drink recipes along the inner layer? A rarer breed. And a custom-made, St. Frank-wrapped photo book of all your greatest memories? Lover, friend, or parent, the person who has everything surely doesn't have that.
Don’t get caught gifting a candle. Ahead, 20 unique Christmas gifts for tricky people with terrific taste.
From Frédéric Malle perfume guns to pearl-dotted hosting gloves, these are the gifts they didn't know existed, much less that they wanted.
